I am having trouble running MicroSoft Word on an upgraded Mac 512 (i.e.,
128K rom and 800K disk).  In particular, it hangs when it tries to
print.  I think you'll agree that a word processing program that can't
print is pretty useless.  Some particulars:  I am using the 'old' system
(pre Mac+, not sure of the exact version).  MacWrite will print
successfully under these conditions.  I got Word to print today using
the Assimilation Work-n-Print DA (I guess it works because Word isn't
opening the Imagewriter driver directly).  It also hangs trying to
create a PostScript file with LaserWriter.

I haven't tried it with System 3.1 (can't find one on a Saturday), nor
have I tried it with a LaserWriter on Appletalk (they're not accessible
today, either).

Anybody got any hints?  I eventually need LW output, so using
Work-n-Print won't hack it.
